Hey, slots enthusiast! Holiday celebrations have their very own reliable winning pattern. With it, I’ve won big jackpots and today will explain how you can, too. That’s coming up! Hi, my name is Jon Friedl. Welcome to Professor Slots, a channel that’s all about mastering casino slots so you can win your way to success. If you’ve ever walked into a casino, looked around, and wondered what’s going on with slots and more, I can help. Slots enthusiasts like you and I aren’t ever guaranteed a taxable jackpot, no matter what we do, because luck can never be completely removed. But we can become skilled at improving our winning odds here and there as opportunities present themselves, such as with holiday celebrations at casinos. The last two months of each year brings three major U.S. holidays including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. There are also what I call “almost” holidays immediately before and after each, like Black Friday after Thanksgiving Day as well as Eve’s for both Christmas and New Year’s. Over one year’s quick succession of holiday celebrations at my local casino, I discovered my reliable holiday pattern winning slots strategy.
Certainly, holidays and almost holidays are hectic days at casinos due to their holiday status. Toward the end of each year, casinos see large attendance on each of those six days, planned well in advance by the casino’s marketing staff. Let’s do our careful planning, too. Perhaps you are surprised at just how busy casinos can get on holidays. It’s usually not so active on Christmas morning, but the casino buffet line can be quite long at dinner time. I learned of reliable holiday patterns from these six days spread across less than a month and a half. But then I applied these patterns to the other holidays of the year. And don’t forget almost holidays like May’s Derby Day, celebrated at casinos nationwide.
The first time I was at a casino on Derby Day, nearly twenty years ago when I was first learning about slot machine gambling, I remember arriving early at Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino in Altoona, Iowa near Des Moines. As morning became late afternoon, I began noticing how incredibly busy it was becoming. Plus, what was up with all the fabulous hats?? Great hats are a Derby Day tradition, if you didn’t already know. Do you have a fabulous hat? I certainly hope it’s got a big feather! This is mine, although there’s no feather … yet! Looking back through my financial gambling records, I’ve won a single taxable jackpot on a major holiday and its associated “Eve” or “After” day. On the morning of Thanksgiving Day, only a few years ago, I won 3 taxable jackpots playing slots. These jackpots were for $2,500, $2,400, and $1,600. I won them at 3:35 a.m., 4:00 a.m., and 12:01 p.m. Unfortunately, my gambling records from that time are not as complete as they would eventually become. Going further with my more recent gambling records, I can see that, based on non-taxable jackpots earned and amount of bankroll cycling that collectively occurred on holidays, it is an excellent time to attend a casino between these significant holidays. Keeping good gambling records is well worth doing, and this is one reason why. It is, of course, great for preparing for filing your annual income tax returns. But it is also excellent for analyzing just such gambling performances at your favorite casinos. For example, did you go to the casino last year on New Year’s Eve? How did you do and, based on your gambling records, what should you do this next New Year’s Eve? If you don’t yet keep gambling records, maybe you should for the upcoming holiday season? It’s never too late to start. See the description below for how. The reliable holiday pattern slots winning strategy is like my previous Slots Winning Strategy #4: Casino Special Events. As I’ve explained, I won many taxable jackpots when attending casinos early in the morning after a big event. This winning strategy treats major holidays as special, special casino events. Watch my previous video to get the details about the cause of this winning strategy. As with special events, the best time I’ve found for these winning occasions are between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. after a casino has had a large crowd the night before. This time worked for me at my casino, but my audience of slots enthusiasts have shared that between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. has been the best time at their casino. When we’ve come to the casino after holidays between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., the effect doesn’t seem to still exist. The most reliable pattern I discerned was to come in after the crowds had mostly gone home. This reliable holiday pattern means attending casinos the morning after major holidays and the mornings after almost holidays like Saturday morning after Black Friday or any casino (but especially those with racetracks!) on the day after the Kentucky Derby. In 2020, be aware May’s Derby Day has moved to Saturday, September 5th. Large crowds at a casino likely means they’re doing quite well in terms of revenue. Plus, paying out more jackpots than seen on a slow night would hardly negatively impact the tremendous amount of income pouring in on a holiday. It’s hard for casinos to be as accurate as they’d like to be. So, a simple solution is to hold back a couple of jackpots, which isn’t noticeable to a large crowd. After their accounting analysis has caught up, a few hours after the crowds have gone home, the casino gives out a few jackpots to balance their books, as it were. By 8 a.m. the next morning, they generally stop doing that. When I’ve gone in early after a big holiday celebration at a casino, I generally pick up one or more taxable jackpots at little expense. On the morning of one Thanksgiving Day, I won two taxable jackpots totaling $4,500 over 25 minutes starting at 3:35 a.m. I got the first jackpot five minutes after sitting down to play. At the time I wasn’t tracking special events, so I don’t have a record if there was a special event the night before. I won my largest taxable jackpot to date on a Saturday before Christmas Day for $27,000. This massive jackpot happened at 5:40 a.m., the second taxable jackpot I’d won in 40 minutes. As was my habit then when winning taxable jackpots, I liked to get the cash. After paying the required state taxes, this $27,000 amounted to $25,353. This hand pay was the first time I won a jackpot worth more than $5,000. In the days afterward, I traveled to see distant family over the Christmas holiday that year - so I have no gambling records for any lost winning opportunities. Mostly, I was trying to absorb having won 45 taxable jackpots in 42 days over a period of 18 casino visits. On the first Saturday after Christmas that year, I won three taxable jackpots within 35 minutes. I got the first jackpot starting 10 minutes after I began playing at 4:45 a.m. The night before had been a busy night at the casino. I didn’t win any taxable jackpots the next morning, on Sunday. But, then again, I arrived later at 7:45 a.m. after it was all over. The pandemic of 2020 has disrupted casino special events, with most canceled, but has had only a minor effect on individuals celebrating national holidays. Also, if your casino is closed for morning cleanings, you’ll need to work around that schedule during your early morning visits to implement this winning slots strategy. I’ll see you next time.
